Dim-witted plot

Great, some BEM has travelled back in time, hooked up with the Nazis and altered events so that the eastern US gets invaded. Even though Hitler couldn't even make it across the 20-odd miles to Britain while our army was in disarray and our air force was down to its last few fighters, somehow the Third Reich has found the resources to cross the Atlantic, aided and abetted by a small band of monsters who are so ill-equipped they have to rely on German help to build themselves a way home. Yeah, right.

Thoughtless set design

I just loved the campaign map on the office wall behind the big boss nasty alien, showing the battle lines in the US but leaving Canada completely blank. Of course, the Canadians were of no strategic importance whatsoever during World War II, and their reaction to an invasion of continental North America would naturally be quite irrelevant. Yeah, right.

Braga et al are still getting off on their masterpiece 'Temporal Cold War' story arc

And they are the only ones who are.



I can only hope Dr Who can fulfil my need for good Sci Fi instead.
